Toyota Start Your Impossible (SYI) Outrun 2025 Returns with a New Category - Half Marathon

Shah Alam, 4 June 2025 – UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) proudly announces the return of the Toyota Start Your Impossible (SYI) Outrun 2025, an inclusive charity run that goes beyond physical fitness to celebrate human resilience, unity, and compassion. Set for Sunday, 27 July 2025, at Dataran Wawasan, Putrajaya, the event continues to shape lives and inspire progress under Toyota’s global Start Your Impossible initiative.

SYI Outrun is a key part of Toyota's global Start Your Impossible campaign, a movement initiated by Toyota Motor Corporation to mark its transition from an automotive company to a mobility company —one that enables freedom of movement for all. UMWT adopted this campaign in Malaysia to reinforce its commitment to social responsibility and to strengthen its position as a leader in innovative mobility solutions.

More than a run, the Toyota SYI Outrun 2025 reflects the brand’s belief that movement whether physical, emotional, or social—can drive change. As part of Toyota’s global initiative, this event inspires individuals to overcome barriers, support one another, and move toward a better, more inclusive tomorrow.

“At Toyota, we believe movement isn’t just about machines—it’s about people progressing as a society. The Outrun reflects our belief that movement can lead to connection, healing, and change,” said Datuk Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor.

“For the first time ever, we’re introducing a 21KM Half Marathon—an exciting new challenge that symbolises how far we’ve come together, and how much further we can go. It’s a powerful step forward for the event, one that celebrates endurance, determination, and community spirit. The Outrun brings people together across communities, uniting personal goals with a greater purpose. That’s what Start Your Impossible is truly about”

Since it was first introduced in 2019, the Outrun has raised over half a million ringgit for causes championing accessibility and wellness, including the Paralympic Council of Malaysia and the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM). The 2025 edition continues this legacy by focusing its support on Malaysians affected by cancer, while fostering an environment of strength, support, and community.

Making Every Step Count

Participants can register for one of three categories designed to cater to all levels of runners:

• 5KM Fun Run: A non-competitive, family-friendly run open to participants aged 5 and above
• 10KM Competitive Run: Open to various age groups and categories
• 21KM Half Marathon: Introduced for the first time ever in 2025, this new category challenges seasoned runners to push their limits and marks a bold new chapter in the Outrun’s evolution

The debut of the 21KM Half Marathon underscores the Outrun’s growth as a platform not only for health and inclusivity but also for personal breakthroughs and athletic aspiration. It represents Toyota’s drive to go further, enabling individuals to start their impossible and test their endurance in a meaningful way.

Each competitive category includes divisions such as Men’s Open, Women’s Open, Veterans, and Malaysia-specific classes, encouraging diversity and inclusivity across all races. A record-breaking RM138,000 prize pool awaits the top 10 finishers in both the 10KM and 21KM runs, Toyota’s way of honoring both competitive spirit and community engagement.

Moving Together, Moving Forward

This year’s run introduces a new route at Dataran Wawasan, Putrajaya which provides a scenic course designed to uplift and inspire both physical and emotional journeys. Beyond medals and race bibs, every participant receives a performance running kit. Finishers of the 21KM category will also earn a special edition finisher's jersey.

The true reward of the Outrun lies in the stories that emerge with every step, from families running in memory of loved ones, to survivors pushing beyond their limits, and first-timers embracing a new beginning. These deeply human moments are what give the event its heart. Over the years, it has grown into a gathering that brings Malaysians together not just in the name of health, but in the spirit of hope.
